В инстаграме живет один необычный аккаунт @loveyourlines и делится историями из разных жизней людей со схожим мироощущением своего тела.
И хотя на изображениях выглядывает много трусов и лифчиков, как на некоторых сисько-аккаунтах, фото-карточки расскахывают совсеееееем о другом.
Ну да меньше слов, больше фото:
"I was about 130 lbs, 5'5 pre pregnancy. Dropped to 120 due to morning sickness and went up to 162 before having my baby. For months after my baby was born I was a little depressed at how my body ended up. I am now starting to look at the beauty within my lines because they housed a beautiful little person that drives me insanely crazy and that I'm insanely crazy for. Want to give thanks to this page for making me feel like I'm not alone."

I don't hide them at the beach, in swim wear, if I feel like it I'll wear a crop top. I've had women say things like "you're really going to wear that? You don't care about people seeing your stretch marks? The answer is no. Those marks on my body come from housing a future Queen. You ever see royalty try to hide a palace?"

She is the reason I must remember to celebrate my new body. I don't want her to grow up feeling insecure in her own skin, and I vow be the first woman in her life to set that example. After all, I know one day these bright red lines will blend into the background."

"I got pregnant at the age of just 20 years old and I gave birth when I was 21. My skin wasn't able to stretch with my growing body and so I got a lot of stretch marks. On my boobs, my butt, my thighs and my tummy. I used to be skinny and smooth with nothing to complain about but after my pregnancy I had such a hard time accepting my new body. I cried and felt so ashamed. I'm slowly starting to understand that they are very normal and a lot of woman have them. I don't hate them anymore. Thanks to all the wonderful beautiful brave woman who shared their story I am ready to share my own and love my lines!"

So it was even scarier because I thought I would never find another life partner (since nowadays physical characteristics is the most important thing of all). But then I realized my real life partner is my little boy. He was the one who was there in the battle and painful journey of giving birth. In conclusion I love him so much and a real man who'll enter my new life will know the value of my love lines."

Little did my doctors know I would carry around a 9pound 4oz baby in little ol me. Making me gain 46pounds (166) I breastfeed my son for 4 months and had to stop due to stress from postpardom. I looked in the mirror at my body everyday and felt hopeless. But here I am 2 years later now weighing 114 pounds with no diet or excersize. Even though I am not completely comfortable showing my stomach, I am one step closer due to this page... THANK YOU. Next summer I will be rocking a low rise 2 piece instead of my normal high waist!!

I had to work 2 jobs to afford everything and it was the hardest yet most rewarding time of my life. I gave birth to my son with no man to hold my hand. And I did everything from feedings and diaper changes to paying all the bills. Today I'm in a wonderfully healthy relationship with someone who loves my stretch marks and thinks I'm beautiful. Moral of this story is, you can't win a battle without getting some scars. These are mine, and I wear them proud!"

These lines signify the 42 weeks he spent inside my body, preparing himself for our first eye to eye meeting of mother and son. These lines signify how my body held you until my arms could , and for that I will always find something beautiful in it."

Back then I was so afraid of getting stretchmarks that I started buying all kinds of product to avoid them. It took 8 months for them to appear anyway. At fist I was so sad about it, at age 22 I could never wear a bikini ever again. But after I gave birth, something changed. Somewhere along the way I gained a lot of confidence. I embraced my 'new' body, including my lines. They resemble the life I carried, they resemble that my body gave its best so that I could become the mommy of a healthy perfect little girl.
And no matter what other people may say or think, to my daughter I am the most beautiful mom of the world, or so she says."

Though I may not have come to terms with my lines I have gained four beautiful babies who are so worth it! Thank you so much for this page."

It's been 6 years with stretch marks. I'm 23 years old now with 2 kids and trying to beat lupus. I love wearing shorts and skirts but when I go out everybody is looking at my legs like its disgusting. I tell my husband that sometimes I feel ashamed of my stretch marks but he tells me I don't care that you have stretch marks."
